Jackie

Was this a publicized event, or have I (and maybe others?) been so occupied
with literacy and other work that the summit somehow passed us by?  Or,
(looking at the names of presenters/speakers and seeing few adult ed folks)
maybe this was the not-necessarily adult literacy summit?

thanks for letting us know about it.  Was anyone here able to attend?
feedback?  

Janet
